Take Action

Eco Reps

We are proud to say that this is our fifth year of having EcoReps on campus at CSB. We have grown each year, beginning with only 4 and now have 13 Bennies promoting a sustainable life style in the residence halls.

Eco-Reps are first-year and sophomore bennies who volunteer in their residence halls to promote awareness about sustainability by distributing information, and coordinating activities. Goals of our program include:

To foster student creativity through program development that promotes community and communication in social sustainability, efficiency and resource conservation in economic sustainability, and respect and stewardship in ecological sustainability.

To educate students about their environmental impact, ultimately influencing and changing lifestyles and habits.

To foster student leadership through event planning and organization, open and peer-to-peer interactions, and through guided personal development.
